Bromance in Bollywood movies has always been a big thing.. Where friends pledge their lives for friends… and in most cases the female lead’s entry would cause the pact to be broken! Dosti has been the theme for many movies with many songs dedicated to friendship. Surprisingly, very few movies feature friendship amongst women.. its always the men who sing songs and make promises about friendship.
FiveSongs – Duets on bromance (Yaari/Dosti etc)
| #1 | Song: Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Singers: Kishore Kumar & Manna Dey Year: 1975 Movie: Sholay Director: Ramesh Sippy Lyricist: Anand Bakshi Composer: R. D. Burman |
|
| When you think of Dosti songs this one is sure to feature.. Jai & Veeru are two of the most well-known characters in Hindi movies. Amitabh Bachchan & Dharmendra perform antics on their motorcycle & sidecar in this one.

| #2 | Song: Bane Chahe Dushman Year: 1980 Movie: Dostana Director: Raj Khosla Singers: Kishore Kumar & Mohammad Rafi Lyrics: Anand Bakshi Composer: Laxmikant Pyarelal |
|
| Though this song is about friends & friendship, it is rumoured that both the actors weren’t on talking terms when this song was picturized. In the movie, the heroine (Zeenat Aman) was the reason for the discord between friends.

| #3 | Song: Qurbani Qurbani Qurbani Singers: Anwar, Aziz Naza & Kishore Kumar Year: 1980 Movie: Qurbani Director: Feroz Khan Lyrics: Farooq Qaizer Composer: Kalyanji Anandji |
|
| Feroz Khan’s movies always exuded a flamboyance rarely seen in Bollywood. Here too, swords clash in a song about sacrifice for friends, while the policeman (Amjad Khan) pursuing the friends, looks on.

| #4 | Song: Saat Ajoobe Is Duniya Singers: Mohammad Rafi & Mukesh Year: 1977 Movie: Dharam Veer Director: Manmohan Desai Lyricist: Anand Bakshi Composer: Laxmikant Pyarelal |
|
| Dharmendra’s short skirts made this movie more popular than either of the two heriones in it. The quintessential hindi formula movie of twin brothers separated at birth, who grow up and become friends, set in a fictional kingdom.

| #5 | Song: Aye Yaar Sun Singer: Kishore Kumar, Shailendra Singh & Asha Bhonsale Year: 1979 Movie: Suhaag Director: Manmohan Desai Lyricist: Anand Bakshi Composer: Laxmikant Pyarelal |
|
| Again a movie with a similar formula as the previous one.. twins separated at birth, on either side of the law.. become close friends. One (Shashi Kapoor) loses his eyesight, so the other lets him ride a bike to prove his “Dosti“.
